Pros
The compensation package is excellent. Between health care, the discounts, and whatnot, things are good. For example, if one is called to serve on a jury, not only do you get what the state pays you for your time, but you still get your regular pay. It takes an act of congress to get fired from the store. The attendance policy is a complete joke--but you can work it to your favor. I also like the stoke plan. I like being able to have the money automatically taken out of my check so that I don't ever see it; if I don't see it in the bank, I don't miss it.
Cons
You work your butt off with an only "We appreciate every thing you do." They are not glad, nor thankful, but appreciative. The other think you have to make sure you know the attendance, dress code, and attendance policies down to the letter--they will try to get you if you let them. On day one, get on the wire and look them up, print them out, and learn them--and then every few months check for any changes.Know the Wal-Mart system so management can't try to get you on anything. This is how I have survived here as long as I have.
